a the section 11 against 19 and 20. It will be apparent that my heating element may be adapted for use in different ways from that shown, such for instance, as in an electrically heated stove.

A shell or casing 25 fits over the top section 11 and rests upon the shoulder 26 formed by the recess 15. Studs 27 are threaded into the top of the lower section 10 and extend through the upper section 11, the casing 15 and handle 28. uts 29 hold the heating element and the nuts 30 secure the handle in position. The casing is formed with an opening 31 through which the projection 18 extends.

32 designates a plug by means of which i the resistance COll may be thrown into and out of circuit.

An angular rest 33 formed of a metallic rod is secured within the openings 34 formed in the rear face of the body sectlon 10.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing,

it will be seen that I have provided a very simply constructed electrically heated sad iron, which may be easily assembled, and which is provided with a novelly constructed heating element having a resistance coil disposed in channels formed in the opposed faces of the upper and lower body sections. As before stated, the heating element is not limited to use in connection with a sad iron but may be used in connection with various other objects.

It is to be understood that while I have shown and described the preferred embodiment'of'my invention, I do not wish to be limited to this exact construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, but may make such changes as will fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

I laving thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A heating element comprising a sheet of insulating material formed with a single series of perforations, and a resistance member extended through said perforations and across the edge of the sheet, said resistance member only embracing that portion of the sheet lying between the perforations and the edge of the sheet.

2. A heating element comprising a sheet of mica haying a series of perforations formed therein adjacent the edge thereof,

channel, the channel conforming to and a resistance member formed of a spiral coil of wire, threaded through the perforations and extended across the edge of the sheet, said resistance member embracing only that portion of the mica sheet lying between the perforations and the edge of said sheet, whereby the remainder of the sheet may be engaged with a supporting member.

3. In a sad iron, a body formed of upper and lower sections, the opposed faces of said sections being formed with opposed channels, and a heating element comprising'a sheet of non-conducting material positioned between said sections and extending partly across the channels, the sheet being formed with a series of perforations disposed within the channels, and a threaded through said perforations across the edge of the sheet. 7

4. In a sad iron, a body formed of an upper and lower section with the opposed faces of said sections being formed adjacent their edge with opposed channels, a sheet of mica positioned between the sections and extending artly across the channels formed therein, t e sheet being formed adjacent its edges with a series of perforations, and a resistanceelement formed of a spiral coil of wire, said element being threaded perforations and extending across the edges of the sheet.

5. A sad iron comprising a body formed of an upper and a lower section, the lower section having formed in its upper faceha t e shape of the section, the lower face of the upper section being formed with a channel opposed to the first mentioned channel, an insulating sheet disposed between the sections and extending partly across the chan nels, said sheet being formed adjacent its edges with a series of perforations disposed within the channels, a resistance element formed of a spiral coil of wire and mounted upon said insulating sheet, the coil extending through the perforations and across the edge of the sheet, and a pair of terminal members carried by the upper section to which the ends of the coil are connected.
